Multi-purpose intelligent portable battery system

Abstract

A battery system includes battery cells coupled to a battery management system (BMS), a power output port, a wireless communication module, a payment module. Engaging a locking module causes the power output port to decouple from the BMS. Disengaging the locking module causes the power output port to couple to the BMS. One or more processing devices are to determine health data and location data of the battery system based on data collected by the sensor module, and transmit the health data and the location data to an external battery management device via the wireless communication module. Responsive to determining the health data satisfies a health threshold, determine payment data using the payment module. Responsive to determining that the payment data satisfies a payment condition, disengage the locking module based on a locking scheme associated with the payment condition.
